It's that time of year again.
The time of year that I hang a Spring wreath on my door and than every time I leave the house I think, I HAVE to make a new wreath! They usually only last a couple of seasons before the color is drained and they start looking more shabby than chic.
So after meeting my darling Daughter {A} at the Mall today, I decided to stop by where?.... you got it the Craft Store.
After living in our Home for 19 years I think I have had just about every color combination of wreaths. When the Hydrangeas in the big container at the end of the aisle jumped out and said buy me, I said don't mind if I do!
Hydrangeas have always been one of my favorite flowers, besides roses of course!
If you love them too this could not have been easier to make, I promise you do not need one crafting bone in your little old body!
You DO need...
1. A glue gun {except watch your fingers, I don't think I have ever used one without getting at least one searing hot burn to the bone drop of glue on me.} Fifi Laroo cowers in her cage when she sees it as she knows the words that will soon follow. Which reminds me of a funny story.
When {A} was little I use to sew a lot of her clothing, especially her frilly dresses. One day I was getting out my sewing machine when {A} saw me. She said in her 3 year old little voice "oh Mommy whenever you sew it makes my belly hurt" I said honey, why does it make your belly hurt? She said "because you always yell bad words" out of the mouths of Babes! So yes I am a crafter, but I seem to have a reputation around small children and dogs that I have a potty mouth while doing so!
2. A grapevine wreath or a base of your choice
3. Silk hydrangeas I bought four bushes that had five flower heads on each so 20 flower heads make a nice size wreath
4. Ribbon to hang it from. I bought an olive colored soft satin and made sure that I had extra for when the one I have on it now weathers.
That's it! Easy peasy.
Cut off your flower heads and glue them side by side around your wreath. Loop your ribbon through and tie a bow for it to hang from.
Wa la ~ you have a beautiful new wreath and I will have peace of mind every time that I pull out of my driveway that the wreath on the front door isn't faded!
For now.
Have a tickled pink day!
